upReach

upReach improves access to professional employment for undergraduates from less-privileged backgrounds.

About us

upReach supports undergraduates from less-privileged backgrounds to realise their career potential in partnership with employers and universities.

We work to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. Our current employer partners are the Civil Service Fast Stream, Deloitte, KPMG, McKinsey & Company, and Unilever. Our current university partners are Balliol College Oxford, Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter, King’s College London, Queen Mary, Reading, SOAS, Southampton and Sussex.

Issue & solution

We're committed to ensuring that access to professional employment is not limited by socio-economic background.

This is important because equal academic achievement at university does not translate into equal access to or earnings in professional employment for undergraduates from less-privileged backgrounds.

How it works

Our unique model makes the difference to upReach Associates accessing professional employment which fulfils their potential.
